[so-and-sos-blog]

I’ve been playing a lot of roguelike deckbuilders. They’re really fun, but the problem I always have with engine-builders is that I want to have the engine. They’re engine-builders, not engine-havers. The engine gets thrown out once the run is over, win or lose. And I don’t just mean “I want the games to be longer so I can play with my engine more before throwing it out”, like an endless mode. I mean I want to put that engine in my garage so I can take it for a spin every now and then whenever I feel like it. I want a whole parking lot full of shiny game-winning engines, and I want to keep getting new ones and keep playing with the vintage ones.

I want the variety and replayability of a roguelike engine-builder, but not the impermanence of “hooray, you won, now just throw out that cool engine you built and we’ll pretend that never happened”.

Finally won my 1st Balatro run thanks to the efforts of the Jokers: Splash, The Egg, Loyalty Card, Hologram & Swashbuckler. Continued through into Endless Mode but sadly failed midway through the 10th Ante. Finally winning at all was still extremely satisfying & I'm eager to crest the 1 MIL Chip Score threshold & reach the echelons of fully-fledged Balatro Scholar.

I dunno how many people out there are still on the fence with Balatro since it seems that those it appeals to either already have it or have at the very least Wishlisted it. If however you were still in the undecided camp, enjoy roguelike games but don't think there is anything to the Balatro hype - for me personally the game really is just that good & is now genuinely one of my favorites in the roguelike & roguelike deckbuilding genre, deserving of a spot right next to the likes of Slay the Spire, Slice & Dice, Hades & Spelunky.

My only regret is that I have yet to purchase a Steam Deck to play it on & as usual have to resort to booting up my laptop again & again solely to play it.

New to Me #boardgames - January 2023 @gmtgames @StrongholdGames @eggertspiele @thematic_games @FlatoutGames @alderac @BGTables @atlasgames

It’s a brand new year and hopefully it will be better than last year. Though last year wasn’t too bad, compared to the two before. It’s January (or February, but we’re talking about January) and that means a new beginning where we’re not sure what all we’re going to play for the year. Last year I played 111 games. When January came around, I had no idea what games those would be! I do have…

Finally got around to buying & playing the starship combat roguelike deckbuilder BREACHWAY & adore it so far. Despite the deckbuilding intergration, the game honestly does still envoke the tactical starship captain experience that I’ve craved since FTL Advanced Edition minus the semi-realtime crew management & overall minute control that allowed for strategies like blowing invading hostiles out of your airlock & snuffing out fires in the same manner. It helps that the game absolutely dazzles in the presentation department. Artwork for various crew members & the 3D modeled starships are all extremely evocative. Watching the ships trade blows & ultimately explode gloriously during the split screen combat grants the game an engaging cinematic quality. It also feels very rich worldbuilding-wise even in Early Access thanks to the different ship & character designs as well as the various factions birthed from a somewhat rote but still well-sketched intriguing sci-fi setting.

I don’t blame anyone who might feel particularly burnt out by the roguelike deckbuilding trend of the last half decade but IMO games like BREACHWAY help keep the genre from truly becoming stale & I happily welcome even simple tweaks & stylish presentations that are capable of drawing me into one more game in the genre. Definitely recommended to deckbuilder and/or FTL fans.

New to Me #boardgames - December 2022 @gmtgames @wizkidsgames @AportaGames @days_of_wonder

December was a curtailed month for games. The last game I played was on December 13 (or December 16 if you count my Combat Commander ladder game I played on a Friday night). Between a Sunday Funday being snowed out, Christmas falling on a Sunday, as well as the last week before Christmas being all “work from home” (and thus no games got played at lunch), it was a short month! I still managed…

Look at the market. There are potions, vessels, artefacts and rings. Some are too expensive and others just don't let me mix up powerful concoctions. The Finger Ring of the Additional Pinkie looks useful and the Ghost Beaker is also a promising start. So let me buy both, add them to my deck and then see if, on my next turn, they would allow me to join the league of PotionSlingers by Anthony Fasano.
